Trying to dot-walk in a widget

[gjz1]

Hi all, I need more help.  I'm trying to dot-walk to a field in a widget but it doesn't seem to work.  I'm in Madrid and have customized the Ticket Conversations widget.  I need to get some data from the REQ from the RITM.  Here is a snippet of my code:

<div ng-show="data.hasWritableJournalField" class="input-group">
<textarea ng-keypress="keyPress($event)"
sn-resize-height="trim"
rows="1" id="post-input"
class="form-control no-resize overflow-hidden"
ng-model='data.journalEntry'
ng-model-options='{debounce: 250}'
ng-attr-placeholder="{{getPlaceholder()}}"
aria-label="{{getPlaceholder()}}"
autocomplete="off"
ng-disabled="data.request.request_state == 'pending_signoff'"
ng-change="userTyping(data.journalEntry)"/>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

You will have to store the value in the field on the serverscript

In server script set

data.request.request_state = state of the request

These are javascript obects...not gliderecords.
